Summary

A boy helps magic chickens by rolling eggs around in fruit and hatching them. Darkness has spread over the land and Billy uses magic eggs and monsters to quell the darkness. Of a bygone era when prominent teams could make wholly original titles as console exclusives.

Acquisition

My original copy was a Christmas gift, probably in 2003. At some point, I sold it to GameStop for $0.89. I have since repurchased it at a local mom and pop much to my delight. I always regretted trading this one in.

Memories

This was the game that shattered the illusion of Christmas for me. One day my brother was sneaking around the house and found a hoard of gifts in my mother's closet, including the much asked for Billy Hatcher. The guilt racked me and the myth was broken.

While I never beat the game, I do recall one particular rail/roller coaster bit being quite difficult with the fragile golden egg. That was probably when I quit.
